£!sox. Mr. Cope (Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. xiii. p. 407) distinguishes seven 
species in the waters of Middle North America, viz. E. faseiatus (Dekay) = 
E. ornatus (Girard), E. porosus, apparently a new name for E. cypho (Cope), 
E. umbrosus (Kirtl.), E, retiadatus (Les.), E. depraudus (Les.), E. lucius (L.), 
and E. noUHor (Thomps.). Those species are shortly characterized, but the 
synonymy is very meagre.

explains the great difference in size in young examples by the observation 
that the males are the smaller, and the females the larger individuals. Bull.
